Gallery | Comic Con 2012 | The Science of Science Fiction Panel
The best panel at San Diego Comic Con 2012 bar none: "The Science of Science Fiction". I was the moderator, and from left to right are Jane Espenson ("Buffy"! "Firefly"! "Battlestar Galactica"!), Kevin Grazier (science advisor for "Battlestar", "Eureka", and the upcoming show "Defiance"), Ashley Miller (who cowrote "X Men: First Class" and "Thor" with panelist Zack Stentz), Jaime Paglia (co-creator and producer of "Eureka"), Jon Spaihts (who wrote the original screenplay for "Prometheus", and Zack Stentz (see Ashley Miller).
The theme of the panel was "Canon Fodder": getting the science right in a pre-existing universe when you're writing a prequel or sequel. We had a lot of fun, and the room was packed. I'm really proud of this panel (here's io9's review) and my friends on it. They're a very smart, funny, and talented group! And thanks to the Science and Entertainment Exchange for sponsoring the panel, and taking care of so many of the details of getting the panel together. It was an amazing night.
